Monday 19th January

Welcome to our blog.

The children should have brought home a large A3 sheet with lots of ideas for their project homework on the Romans. The system will be a little different this year. Each activity is worth a number of points ranging from 2 to 10 points. Each week the children need to complete something and bring it in for a show and tell session on a Friday. If the children are working on something a bit more time consuming then they can bring in a picture of what they are in the middle of doing. The children will be given points each week and these points will be added together. The top five sets of points will receive a prize at the end of Spring term.

If children do not bring their work in for two weeks then the child will have to revert to doing sentences every week. The children were really excited and we are encouraging them to complete the work themselves with some help. If there are any questions do not hesitate to come in and ask one of the 3 and 4 team.
Can we please remind you to send in PE kits again so we can start PE lessons again as soon as possible. There were a few children across the school that could not join in as they had no kit. Thank you.
